Deposit and Cancellation Charge Policy
At Heralds Way Dental Clinic we will require a deposit when you book a private appointment. This will be deducted from your bill for the relevant treatment at your next visit. We understand that things sometimes come up and that you may need to make changes to your appointment. We will always be as flexible as possible with our patients – that’s why the deposit will be refunded if you subsequently cancel the appointment with more than 48 hours’ notice.
However, we reserve the right to retain your deposit in case of late cancellations (any cancellation with less than 48 hours’ notice). This may sound strict, but quite simply if you cancel with less than 48 hours’ notice it is very difficult for us to rebook your appointment slot or slots which means that we are unlikely to treat another patient in your place. This means that our team will not be treating any patients, but we’ll still have to pay them all and all of our running costs, so we will genuinely be significantly out of pocket, and it means that lovely patients just like you will have had to wait longer than they needed to for an appointment.
We will always try to be sensitive to personal circumstances in the event of late cancellations.
Deposit and Cancellation Private Fee Structure:
- For check-ups, Standard hygiene appointments, and other appointments of 30 mins or less we will take a deposit of £25.
- For GBT half of the fee due for the length of the appointment will be taken:
- £45 (for appointments of 30 minutes or less)
- £60 (for appointments over 45 minutes up to 1 hour)
- £80 (for appointments over 1 hour)
- For all other dental treatment appointments, half of the treatment plan will be due.
- For any treatments lasting longer than 2 hours we may take a deposit amounting to half the cost of the total treatment
- For specialist appointments (such as implants or specialist endodontics) the deposit required may vary from specialist to specialist, dependent on the stage of the treatment and type of appointment. Full details will be given throughout the treatment plans.
NHS deposits
For Band 2 treatment, we will take the full cost upfront at your examination appointment.
For Band 3 treatment we will take £100 at your examination appointment to cover the cost of any laboratory costs and the remainder at completion of treatment.
Ways to pay
- Cash / Debit / credit card
- Stripe online payments
- 0% Finance over 12 months to spread the cost of treatment.
Coming soon – Heralds Way will be introducing our very own patient plan membership. For more information or to express interest please call the practice.

Our Patient Reviews

I am extremely well looked after and the treatment is always well explained.
So pleased for my mother to be in her care after not being able to get an appointment for so long due to the COVID restrictions!
Thank you for your brilliant care.
However, severe pain with an abscess left me with no choice but to see the dentist.
Yousaf Choudhry’s laid back, calm manner and sense of humour made it difficult not to to feel relaxed. I said from the start I was anxious as I had a terrible experience years ago and he took the time to explain things to me, tell me what he was doing and what to expect which helped me feel calmer. He was quick to find the root cause, prescribe antibiotics, explain to me options and put a plan in place to prevent further problems. His nurse (with coloured hair) was so friendly and gave great advice. I think they work fantastically together.
I usually have to be referred to be placed under conscious sedation for treatment however with two children now in tow I need a quicker turnaround for treatment. I felt confident with Yousaf and booked to have the tooth removed the following week.
I still felt nervous and shaken but again Yousaf’s easy going and calm manner just put me at ease. His sense of humour relaxed me and after the injections went in I could not feel a thing. He worked quickly and removed the tooth before I even realised it had happened. The sense of relief was huge!
I now feel keen to keep up with regular check ups which is a huge relief as I dreaded problems cropping up with my teeth. I also didn’t want to be seen by my children to be scared of the dentist and for them to potentially take on my fear.
I honestly can’t thank Yousaf, his nurse and the surgery enough for not only being so professional but being understanding and supportive all whilst keeping good sense of humour.
i was seen by Dr Kassan, and i was incredibly anxious about the appointment. dr kassan and his nurse Tallulah made me feel as at ease as possible, he talked me through the procedure and was incredibly patient with me.
i will be registering my family with this dentist as a result - all the staff there were kind and supportive of me in my time of need and i am so grateful to them all.
Thank you so so much for ending my pain!
no pain very caring all the way through

So pleased I found this lovely dentist practice

No pain at the time.
A couple of paracetamol required once the anaesthetic had worn off, but ok on Monday.
A very professional job.

Reception with always friendly ladies .
Good dental practice, excellent efficient friendly dentists .
Reasonable fees too. Far better than the private dentist, I left. The new annex is nice too.
A minor issue was the beeping alarm box. Which was annoying, as every minute or so it beeps. Not ideal when sat next to it.
I am very satisfied with their services.
Bonus, tooth was fixed straight away.
Maliha was very thorough and she along with her assistant Mellisa were both very nice people to meet.
Thank you for a pleasant experience.

My wife and I are extremely impressed with the staff and the surgery
After months of trying, I was eventually able to make an appointment at Heralds Way. I was apprehensive, because I usually find going to the dentist an unpleasant experience, and on this occasion I also anticipated extensive work being needed. This is because I had been told by my previous dentist (at a different surgery) that treatment for my tooth was complex and would cost about £1,800.
I was seen by Jasreet Sagoo, at Heralds Way, and her warm welcome and relaxed approach immediately reassured me. After examination, she advised that the major work I had been recommended was, in her opinion, a last result, and she felt that it was not necessary at this time. Instead, Jasreet recommended filling the tooth, and I felt completely confident in her judgement. All my previous concerns were unfounded, and for the first time in memory, when going to the dentist, I felt reassured and relaxed! I feel huge relief that the dental work needed is finally being completed, and even more, because I finally have found a dentist who I feel comfortable with, and completely trust and have confidence in. My faith is restored! I never thought I would be able to say that going to the dentist is a positive experience - so thank you Jasreet Sagoo, and Heralds Way Dental Clinic. I will be back!!
Arrived in good time
My Dentist J Sagoo gave me an Excellent Check Up and Dental Advice
Overall "A FIRST CLASS & PROFESSIONAL DENTAL EXPERIENCE.
ALL STAFF were very Friendly and Helpful.
I also have a rare blood disorder, which they've gone over and above to be accommodating for. Could not recommend this surgery enough! I now love my smile even more.
A very good service all round.
Jan-24 Update: The customer service and dental clinicians are all fantastic. I cannot give enough praise for this dentist practice; each & everyone of the staff are superb.
Warm welcome from Reception on arrival and sat in the smart waiting room. As I had filled in the routine status forms online in advance only a short wait before being called.
Louise gets to know you as a person and not a patient number. She readily advises on the condition of your teeth and what needs to be done. She also listens to your concerns and addresses them with considered response.
I left the practice with beautifully cleaned, shiny teeth and a calm state of mind.
Would I recommend? Without hesitation!
£25 seems a lot of money now that I am a pensioner but would be worth it if free cleaning was reinstated as tartar builds up even with electric toothbrush. Stopped during Covid but not sure why?
Everyone in the practice has been wonderful. Lovely ladies on reception are always so helpful.
Kathy the hygienist is so gentle and thorough, my mouth feels super clean afterwards.
Fayaaz and Jade work great together, they both have been amazing and Fayaaz has gone above and beyond.
Very very pleased with the final results, thank you
